It was never the right man. Not even with her ex-fiancé. When Johnny appears in her living room, she knows why. She was waiting for him. He's The One. Too bad he's dead. There's more at stake for both of them than their earthly desires and it will take a Christmas miracle to give them a Happily Ever After. Fortunately, a meddling Christmas spirit may have just the thing for a fairytale ending. **This is a novella complete at 10K words.
Author
Saranna De Wylde has always been fascinated by things better left in the dark. She wrote her first story after watching The Exorcist at a slumber party. Since then, she’s published horror, romance and narrative nonfiction. Like all writers, Saranna has held a variety of jobs, from operations supervisor for an airline, to an assistant for a call girl, to a corrections officer. But like Hemingway said, “Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it.” So she traded in her cuffs for a full-time keyboard. She loves to hear from her readers. Saranna writes nonfiction under the name Sara Lunsford. Her memoir about her time as a corrections officer called Sweet Hell on Fire releases Nov 1 from Sourcebooks.
